Lake Louise Pond Hockey Classic

Most Canadians would say that hockey is Canada's Game; especially last February during the Olympics. I cannot think of anything more Canadian than playing hockey outside, surrounded by gorgeous mountains, on the iconic Lake Louise.

The Lake Louise Pond Hockey Classic returns this month on Saturday February 26 and Sunday February 27. It is such a unique experience that I am very lucky to experience and I invite all of you to come up and check it out as well. Here are the details:

~Round robin hockey games on Saturday February 26 from 9am - 3:30pm and Sunday February 27 from 9am - 11:30am
~Semi final games on Sunday from 12pm - 1pm
~Finals (Division B) on Sunday February 27 at 1pm
~Finals (Division A) on Sunday February 27 at 2pm

Saturday night is the Brewster Barn Dance and it is incredible. You receive a delicious Western Roast dinner (brought into the Barn on a pitch fork) and then you learn how to two-step to live music; it is a true "Albertan Experience". Cost is $49+tax and worth every penny.

The Saloon at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is hosting the Molson Canadian Hockey House and it is open throughout the weekend. Visit BanffLakeLouise.com for more Information

Looking forward to another magical weekend in Banff National Park :)
